What a mess after a 3 week nice family gathering

Why is it so difficult to get access to such country? First of all need to request the visa directly from MOFA: Why would they give a visa valid from 28 May to 27 June for a workshop scheduled from 28 June to 15 July? At first I thought that it was valid FROM 27 June... Then I had to find a kind friend to take care of the endorsement of the visa on my passport in Nairobi: DHL, visa fee, DHL again to get that endorsement within 10 days... and be denied boarding on my departure day because I did not realise the mistake on the visa.

On the other side Mialy and Kevin are receiving their 4 suitcases tonight after a nice 15 day stay among us. Thanks to our persistence and desire to see all of us together we managed to enjoy these days and realise how nice it could be ... I am not sure if it is going to be possible an other time but we will keep in touch and we will see.

In the meantime I am still expected to support a team that may not need my assistance anymore: I keep contradicting what the organisation has defined as its RBM standards because they are actually not in line with the UN standards. It seems also to be difficult to get people try to think outside the box and try to adjust/adapt to an other way of doing business

Tough and pricey time: I dont know how much I may get reimbursed for what I have advanced intellectually and financially!

Love you, very proud of we all 9!
